This BMW 3 E90 E91 pre LCI 05-08 non-afs headlight repair and upgrade kit contains everything you need to swap your old, blacked-out ZKW projectors for powerful new bi-xenon HID projectors. Using a custom-made mounting bracket makes retrofitting quick and easy. And, most importantly, it will take your BMW to the next level – just check out the test pictures in the installation manual! This is way beyond what the majority of OEM projectors can achieve.
The E46-r projector is an incredibly bright bi-xenon projector, enabling you to use D1S bulbs, including the most powerful options from Osram and Philips. Available bulb colour temperatures range from 4300K to 6500K. You will literally outshine the competition. The crystal-clear 3.0-inch lens throws a low beam with a bright hotspot and sharp cutoff. As for the high beam? It’s like the sun. And because only the projector is replaced, the leveling system keeps working as original.
You can use the ballasts that you’ve already got, simply leave them in place.
This kit can't be used for the version with the option that projector moves when you steer.
Lastly, this kit provides every single part that you will need for retrofitting. In order to keep the price low, we have however assumed that you will keep your existing xenon HID bulbs. Depending on how old those are, you may want to also order a new set of bulbs to get the most out of your retrofitted system. Xenon bulbs do lose up to 70% of their maximum brightness over time.
This complete BMW 3 E90 E91 retrofit kit is inspected by our internal quality control and comes with a solid 2-year warranty. It also includes highly-rated technical support from your lighting experts at Retrofitlab.com

We look forward to brightening your day (not to mention your night)
Installation
This is an easy retrofit that even complete novices can do, but those with more skills and experience will be quicker. Discounting removal and replacement of the headlights, you could expect the job to take anything from less than one to three hours. It can be a bit fiddly to mount everything, but it is doable.
You do not even have to open the BMW E90 E91 headlight. Simply remove the existing projector through the bulb access port at the rear and replace it with your upgraded projector. Done.
Professional installation
This complete kit has been especially developed to enable retrofitting at home, saving you the cost of installation. However, should you prefer to have the kit installed by a professional? Check out the LIST OF DEALERS / INSTALLERS
